Runner here, run about 20 miles a week. It used to hurt but as your muscles strengthen, your joints hurt less. One of my favorite books is "Born to run". Doctors told him he shouldn't run also, but he refused to quit, searched out the greatest runners in the world and shadowed them for years...

Personally if I where going this far I would do crank seals also. Your half way there, new crank seals, gaskets and a crank inspection will ensure you have a good bottom end to last a long time.

If JSS said it wasn't reparable then I wouldn't of bothered. It may be a bad coil and that's why he wouldn't replace the wires. Its no fun replacing coils, buy new only.

Sometimes, buy most often just out to parties!

Honestly, I don't know what pump would work better. Maybe someone that been in your shoes will chime in. If it where me I'd buy a sxr pump shoe and get it fitted to the hull, once that's don't I'd get the oem pump seal and work on that fitting rather than using silicone. You already know the...

Those studs are gonna be a pain in the ass because of the corrosion. Soak them with some pb blaster. I bet you would have to beat that cylinder off. Heat will help a ton but be careful with an assembled engine. Why are you going with the gridle kit now?

That's a 750sx/sxr800 pump, should be easy to find one. Check ebay and post in the wtb section. I don't know how they went about a pump shoe because of the conversation. Jd make an aluminum shoe for the sxr that could likely work with some modification. Looks like a hack pump job, but we can get...

I'd be concerned that it may get crushed at the worst time and sinks a ski.

Mcmastercarr has a large assortment of balls. All kinds of materials and sizes.

I love the idea and it looks great! But I have to agree, a ping pong ball seems a bit chintzy. Hitting a ping pong ball with a padded piece of wood is one thing, but doing a huge tail landing and water crushing it is another. Who knows, it may last. Wouldn't hurt to consider replacements.

Take a few more pics of your entire pump. I'm unsure which kawi pump it is. I'm guessing it's a 650sx pump, the "shoe" is part of the pump casting on that paticular pump.

Need a NSFW tag with that visual weave!

Gotta start turning your own wrenches! I'm sure you could do the pump for less than half yourself. I picked up a clean 140mm kawi pump for a 550sx conversion for 275 with a clean impeller.

Those inserts in the post above are super easy to install. Did ya figure out if the inserts pulled out?

I'm for serious! I only know because I learned the hard way. I ride in alot of ponds, creeks and rivers. I'm always reaching under to pull the grass out of the intake grate... well one day I broke all the rungs out of a plastic grate after hitting a cypress knee and after that I didn't have to...

Actuall, running without a grate will be better for weed infested areas. All the weeds that got caught up in your grate can now get chomped up and spit out.

I do all my blasting at a friends company that does monuments and headstones. They use a a adhesive backed rubber material for their stencils. I use scraps trimmed to the shape to cover surfaces I don't want blasted. I also use granite powder, it's a bit more abrasive than soda but makes easy...

Your not gonna hurt it. You could lean it in the corner of your living room like a surf board and it would be fine.

I get all of my gaskets from jetmaniac. I don't know what you best option is in Denmark though. I don't have any experience with sbt but I'd guess they are fine.

Ok ok, you got my attention. start the damn chainsaw!
